I am h...Hey Mama Pea good to see you up and around. I am happy to know I am not the only quilter who gives her quilts away. I am being really selfish this year in keeping this one and a almost finished comfort quilt .<br /><br />80 miles for a large animal vet. Hope it was Dr. Pol! It is also as you undoubtedly know very difficult to find a good goat vet. I always say goats are the cats of the livestock world. A lot of vets want to treat them as cows no more like sheep. <br /><br />Forgive me for not answering sooner but I was back at the chiropractor and have a repeat performance on Friday. Make you a deal we will both sit down put our feet and relax . I can fit it in between the appointment Friday and the Cottonwood Rodeo Sunday. How about you?Goatldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222031369656684797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010796120994006555.post-2900930044665198462017-05-09T15:46:55.578-07:002017-05-09T15:46:55.578-07:00I think I&#39;m tired after reading about your wee...I think I&#39;m tired after reading about your week. Truth to tell, I&#39;m having a rather unusually busy one myself . . . and even though it contains things I want to do, I&#39;ll be glad when the commitments are done and over with.<br /><br />Scrap quilts are my very favorite. It was many years of quilting before I realized I hadn&#39;t kept any of the quilts I&#39;d made . . . and that it was alright to do so!<br /><br />The only vet in our whole county won&#39;t work on anything but dogs and cats. Sigh. We have to go 80-some miles to get to a large animal vet. Double sigh.<br /><br />Sounds like you&#39;ve gotta start taking a little better care of your body. You want it to last another 50-60 years so you can make more quilts!

In the future I would love to ice fish because it gets cold enough in the winter! But we&#39;re almost there, I looked at photos from last May and we were on the lake in our shorts the last week of May so fingers crossed!!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010796120994006555.post-51293315475394972582017-05-07T09:06:01.578-07:002017-05-07T09:06:01.578-07:00Rain I&#39;m very excited about this quilt because... Rain I&#39;m very excited about this quilt because as I said to Lee is my first scrap quilt usually I quilt for other people and I want it to be special to that person so I often use this pattern but I pick out specific fabric that I feel will please them. I&#39;m working on my third sweet 16 quilt for my third sweet 16 granddaughter&#39;s birthday. Her birthday will be coming up next year. I love to give things to people it just makes me feel really good inside. Sorry you can&#39;t go fishing don&#39;t you do ice fishing up there or is the ice too thin where your water is lake I&#39;m assuming? I&#39;ll be popping over to your blog in the next day or two and see what you&#39;ve been up to kiss the puppies for me .Goatldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222031369656684797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010796120994006555.post-11422791327667232772017-05-07T09:01:15.941-07:002017-05-07T09:01:15.941-07:00Thank you Leigh!

And yes you are absolutely right Dr. D is an absolute gem. It&#39;s nice that we can still call him and pick his brain when we have problems. Learned volumes from the man. Hoping to get a chance to pop over to your blog and see what you been up to I feel like I&#39;ve been living in a vacuum this last week.Goatldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222031369656684797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010796120994006555.post-63773919067200556072017-05-07T07:25:26.302-07:002017-05-07T07:25:26.302-07:00Hi Goatldi :) The quilt is very pretty and cozy lo...Hi Goatldi :) The quilt is very pretty and cozy looking! I love the photo of your sister and her goat. Very sweet. :) Oh, the beach...it&#39;ll be a while before I can jump into the lake! Actually it&#39;s still icy out there on the water. We haven&#39;t been able to fish yet!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010796120994006555.post-20756695988812285342017-05-07T05:45:18.402-07:002017-05-07T05:45:18.402-07:00Your Dr. D sounds like a real gem.

And it&#39;s a horrible feeling to take a goat to a vet and know that they don&#39;t know what they&#39;re talking about! Sounds like a lovely day spent with treasured friends.<br /><br />I like your quilt too! Nice use of color and patterns. Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
